Question

Shaniya works as a florist and worked 14 hours last week and earned $119.00. At that rate, how much will she earn if she works for 10 hours?

Answer 1

$85

First, divide the total amount earned by the hours worked to get the per hour rate.
`119/14=8.5`

So Shaniya gets paid $8.50 an hour. To find how much she would get paid for 10 hours, multiply 8.5 by 10.
`8.5*10=85`

So is Shaniya works 10 hours she will get paid $85.
